Music and lyrics

Joe Davita of Loudwire said the album sees the band "in their most starved and ravenous state." He described the band's self-production as achieving "a certain warmth as the meaty guitar tones slide off the bone, marinating in a simmering cauldron of human flesh." [2]

The track "Battery Acid Enema" is about torturing someone by pouring sulfuric acid into their anus. [3]
